When a theatre puts on a show, someone has to make the stage look like a castle, or a forest, or a school. That person is the set designer. But before building the real set, they create a small model.
Lizzie Bracken designed the set for a play called You Think It's Easy Being The Tooth Fairy(精灵)? at Lifeline Theatre in Chicago.
Ophelia:
Lizzie: I think almost every set designer in the world starts with a model. It's a fast way to see what the set will look like. You can take apart(拆解) a model and put it back together and play with it and make sure everything works before you build it for real.
Ophelia: What's the model made of?
Lizzie: Mainly foamcore(泡沫板). If I'm working on a set with lots of furniture, I'll just buy models online from a dollhouse or model train company. I love model train stores. You can find some really great things there: trees, furniture and cool lighting. Then I slightly change them the way I want.
Ophelia: The play is about a three-inch-tall tooth fairy. How did you make a grown-up actor look that tiny?
Lizzie: Oh, we have lots of tricks! For example, the prop(道具) designer, Jenny Pinson, made some huge coins for the tooth fairy to collect. That made her look small. We also made a giant kid's hand, about four feet long and a giant cat. Then the rest is left to the audience's imaginations.
Ophelia: What would you like to do next?
Lizzie: Maybe Frankenstein... that would be so fun to work on.
Ophelia: Thanks for talking with me!
